Abstract
The accurate and timely detection of disease biomarkers at the point-of-care is essential to ensuring effective treatment and epidemiological surveillance. Here, we report the selection and engineering of RNA-cleaving DNAzymes that respond to specific genetic markers and amplify detection signals. Because the target-specific activation of gene-specific DNAzymes (gDz) is like the trans-cleavage activity of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) CRISPR-associated (Cas) machinery, we further developed a CRISPR-like assay using RNA-cleaving DNAzyme coupled with isothermal sequence and signal amplification (CLARISSA) for nucleic acid detection in clinical samples. Building on the high sequence specificity and orthogonality of gDzs, CLARISSA is highly versatile and expandable for multiplex testing. Upon integration with an isothermal recombinase polymerase amplification, CLARISSA enabled the detection of human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 in 189 cervical samples collected from cervical cancer screening participants (n = 189) with 100% sensitivity and 97.4% specificity, respectively. A multiplexed CLARISSA further allowed the simultaneous analyses of HPV16 and HPV18 in 46 cervical samples, which returned clinical sensitivity of 96.3% for HPV16 and 83.3% for HPV18, respectively. No false positives were found throughout our tests. Besides the fluorescence readout using fluorogenic reporter probes, CLARISSA is also demonstrated to be fully compatible with a visual lateral flow readout. Because of the high sensitivity, accessibility, and multiplexity, we believe CLARISSA is an ideal CRISPR-Dx alternative for clinical diagnosis in field-based and point-of-care applications.

Abstract
PURPOSE There is little information on factors that influence the glycemic variability (GV) during the nocturnal and diurnal periods. We aimed to examine the relationship between clinical factors and GV during these two periods. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 134 patients with type 2 diabetes. 24-h changes in blood glucose were recorded by a continuous glucose monitoring system. Nocturnal and diurnal GV were assessed by standard deviation of blood glucose (SDBG), coefficient of variation (CV), and mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE), respectively. Robust regression analyses were performed to identify the factors associated with GV. Restricted cubic splines were used to determine dose-response relationship. RESULTS During the nocturnal period, age and glycemic level at 12:00 A.M. were positively associated with GV, whereas alanine aminotransferase was negatively associated with GV. During the diurnal period, homeostatic model assessment 2-insulin sensitivity (HOMA2-S) was positively associated with GV, whereas insulin secretion-sensitivity index-2 (ISSI2) was negatively associated with GV. Additionally, we found a J-shape association between the glycemic level at 12:00 A.M. and MAGE, with 9.0 mmol/L blood glucose level as a cutoff point. Similar nonlinear associations were found between ISSI2 and SDBG, and between ISSI2 and MAGE, with ISSI2 value of 175 as a cutoff point. CONCLUSION Factors associated with GV were different between nocturnal and diurnal periods. The cutoff points we found in this study may provide the therapeutic targets for beta-cell function and pre-sleep glycemic level in clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As the global population ages, cognitive impairment (CI) becomes more prevalent. Tea has been one of the most popular drinks in the world. Several studies have demonstrated that tea consumption has an impact on cognitive function. OBJECTIVE This study aims to examine the association between tea consumption and cognitive function and explore the potential effect of genetics on the relationship between tea consumption and CI risk in older adults. DESIGN This is a prospective longitudinal study using data from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS). SETTING Six waves of data from CLHLS containing 76,270 subjects were analyzed. Generalized estimation equations (GEE) with a logit link function were adopted to estimate the effect of tea consumption on CI risk from a cross-sectional and longitudinal perspective. PARTICIPANTS A population-based cohort of adults aged 65-105 years. MEASUREMENTS The frequency and type of tea consumption were obtained by questionnaires. CI was measured based on MMSE. Polygenic risk was measured using the polygenic score approach described by the International Schizophrenia. RESULTS The results showed that drinking green tea had a better protective effect on cognitive function than other types of tea, the incidence of CI gradually decreased with the increase of tea consumption frequency, and men were more likely to benefit from tea consumption. Additionally, we also found a significant interaction between tea consumption and genetic risk, measured by polygenic risk score (PRS). CONCLUSIONS Based on current research evidence, tea consumption, may be a simple and important measure for CI prevention.

Abstract
Background Glycolysis plays significant roles in tumor progression and immune response. However, the exact role of glycolysis in prognosis and immune regulation has not been explored in all cancer types. This study first calculated a novel glycolysis score and screened out 12 glycolytic hub genes, and comprehensively analyzed molecular expression, clinical implications, and immune features of glycolysis among pan-cancer. Methods The glycolysis score was derived by the single sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) algorithm. The correlations of glycolysis with clinical parameters were analyzed using "limma" package. Downstream pathways of glycolysis were identified by Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA). The immune cell infiltration was explored and validated by three databases. The association between glycolysis and some immunotherapy biomarkers was explored by Pearson correlation analysis. Single-nucleotide variation (SNV), copy number variation (CNV), DNA methylation, and drug sensitivity analyses of 12 glycolytic hub genes were investigated. IMvigor210 and GSE91061 immunotherapeutic cohorts were retrieved to assess the ability of glycolysis score to predict immunotherapy efficacy. The expression of glycolysis key genes was detected in normal and endometrial cancer cell lines. Results We found that glycolysis score was generally higher in tumor tissues compared to normal tissues and a high glycolysis score predominated as a risk prognostic factor. A high glycolysis score was associated with decreased immunostimulatory natural killer (NK) cells and CD8+ T cells infiltration, well increased immunosuppressive M2-tumor-associated macrophages (M2-TAM) cells infiltration. Tumor mutational burden (TMB), microsatellite instability (MSI), and immune checkpoints (ICPs) all closely interacted with glycolysis score and the frequency of gene mutation was confirmed to be higher in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) patients with higher glycolysis score. The SNV, CNV, and DNA methylation of 12 glycolysis key genes occurred at different frequencies and showed different impacts on survival outcomes. The predictive and prognostic value of glycolysis score for immunotherapy outcomes was validated in two immunotherapy cohorts. The expression levels of key genes differ in normal endometrial and three endometrial cancer cell lines. Conclusions This work indicated that glycolysis score and 12 glycolytic hub genes were correlated with an immunosuppressive microenvironment. They could be served as promising biomarkers aiding diagnosis, predicting prognosis and immunotherapy response for some tumor patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 and 18 cause approximately 70% of cervical cancer cases. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether co-infected with other HPV genotypes will affect the risk of cervical carcinogenesis in HPV16/18 positive-women. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, cervical cytology and histological classifications from women who tested positive for HPV 16/18 and underwent colposcopy within 6 months, between January 2010 and May 2021 were obtained from West China Second University Hospital of Sichuan University. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Immediate risk of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 or more diagnoses (CIN 3+). RESULTS A total of 7940 HPV 16/18-positive women were included, with a median age of 40 years (range 25-84 years). Among them, 2710 (34.1%) were infected with multiple genotypes, 6533 (82.28%) had cytology results and 2116 (26.65%) women were diagnosed with CIN 3+. The effects of HPV 16/18 coinfecting with other HPV on CIN3 + risk varied with specific HPV genotypes. After adjusting for cofactors, compared to single HPV 16 infection, the CIN 3 + risk was significantly reduced in women infected with HPV 16 + other high-risk HPV (hrHPV) [odds ratio (OR) = 0.621, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.511-0.755], HPV 16 + low-risk HPV (lrHPV) (OR = 0.620, 95% CI 0.436-0.883), and HPV 16 + lrHPVs + other hrHPVs (OR = 0.248, 95% CI 0.157-0.391). The prevalence of CIN 3 + was associated with increased severity of cytologic abnormalities in HPV 16/18-positive women and peaked at cytology HSIL + (89.9% and 82.3%), which held a substantially greater risk than that of NILM (OR = 65.466, 95% CI 50.234-85.316). CONCLUSIONS In this cross-sectional study of HPV 16/18-positive women, the effects of multiple infection were likely complicated and varied with specific HPV genotypes. The coinfection of HPV 16 and other genotypes of HPV except HPV 18 was associated with decreased CIN 3 + risk. Cytologic results were informative when HPV 16/18 was positive. It might be reasonable to recommend expedited treatment for patients with HPV 16/18 positive and HSIL + cytology in the Chinese population.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The delineation of primary gross tumor volume (GTV) of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is an essential step for radiotherapy planning. In clinical practice, radiation oncologists manually delineate the GTV in planning CT with the help of diagnostic MRI. This is because NPC tumors are closely adjacent to many important anatomic structures, and CT and MRI provide complementary strength to accurately determine the tumor extension boundary. Manual delineation is time-consuming with the potential registration errors between MRI and CT decreasing the delineation accuracy. In this study, we propose a fully automated GTV segmentation method based on CT and MRI by first aligning MRI to CT, and then, segmenting the GTV using a multi-modality deep learning model. MATERIALS/METHODS We collected 104 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with both planning CT and diagnostic MRI scans (T1 & T2 phases). An experienced radiation oncologists manually delineated the GTV, which was further examined by another senior radiation oncologist. Then, a coarse to fine cross-modality registration from MRI to CT was conducted as follows: (1) A rigid transformation was performed on MRI to roughly align MRI to CT with similar anatomic position. (2) Then, the region of interest (RoI) on both CT and rigid-transformed MRI were cropped. (3) A leading cross-modality deformable registration algorithm, named DEEDS, was applied on the cropped MRI and CT RoIs to find an accurate local alignment. Next, using CT and registered MRI as the combined input, a multi-modality deep segmentation network based on nnUNet was trained to generate the GTV prediction. 20% patients were randomly selected as the unseen testing set to quantitatively evaluate the performance. RESULTS The quantitative NPC GTV segmentation performance is summarized in Table 1. The deep segmentation model using CT alone achieved reasonable high performance with 76.6% Dice score and 1.34mm average surface distance (ASD). When both CT and registered MRI were used, the segmentation model further improved the performance by 0.9% Dice score increase and 11% relative ASD error reduction, demonstrating the complementary strength of CT and MRI in determining NPC GTV. Notably, the achieved 77.5% Dice score and 1.19mm ASD by the multimodality model is among the top performing results reported in recent automatic NPC GTV segmentation using either CT or MRI modality. CONCLUSION We developed a fully automated multi-modal deep-learning model for NPC GTV segmentation. The developed model can segment the NPC GTV in high accuracy. With further optimization and validation, this automated model has potential to standardize the NPC GTV segmentation and significantly decrease the workload of radiation oncologists in clinical practice.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) In lung cancer radiation therapy, clinicians must outline the gross tumor volume (GTV) precisely on the planning computed tomography (pCT) for accurate radiation dose delivery. However, due to the limited contrast between tumor and normal tissues in lung parenchyma, accurate delineation of tumor boundaries is difficult leading to large inter-observer variation. In this study, we develop an anatomy-guided lung GTV deep segmentation model using a training cohort of multi-center datasets. The quantitative segmentation performance is evaluated on an independent dataset, where the inter-observer delineation variation is also assessed. MATERIALS/METHODS We collected and curated four publicly available lung datasets with GTV annotations (Lung-PET-CT-Dx, LIDC-IDRI, NSCLC-Radiogenomics and RIDER-CT) for deep learning model development. A total of 871 CT scans of patients, who were diagnosed with T1-T4 NSCLC, were available for training after data curation. The GTV annotations of primary tumor were examined and edited by two experienced radiation oncologists following the RTOG 1106 protocol. An anatomy-guided deep learning model was proposed, which consisted two deep networks. The first deep network used CT scan as input and segmented 4 anatomic organs (airway, heart, pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein), while the second deep network took both CT scan and these pre-segmented 4 organs as input and segmented the lung GTV. With the help of anatomic priors from 4 pre-segmented organs, the second deep network could more easily locate the GTV. We used nnUNet as the deep segmentation network. For evaluation, we used NSCLC-Radiomics as the testing dataset, which contains 20 CT scans each annotated by 5 radiation oncologists. The auto-segmented GTV were compared against each of the manual GTV reference. Inter-observer variation was also assessed using the 5 manual GTV references. RESULTS The proposed anatomic-guided lung GTV segmentation model achieved a mean Dice score of 82.4% and 95% Hausdorff distance (HD95) of 6.9mm when averaged cross 20 patients and 5 GTV references (Table 1), which outperformed the basic deep GTV segmentation model by markedly reducing 19.4% HD95 error. The performance of proposed model was also comparable to the inter-observer variation (Dice score: 82.4% vs. 81.9%, HD95 6.9 vs. 6.4mm), indicating that our model had similar reproducibility as human observers. CONCLUSION We developed and tested an anatomy-guided deep learning model for segmenting GTV in NSCLC patients. The model achieves high quantitative segmentation performance, which is comparable to the human observer variation. It can be potentially used in radiotherapy practice to improve GTV delineation consistency and reduce workloads of radiation oncologists.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Sulfatase 1 (SULF1) can regulate the binding of numerous signaling molecules by removing 6-O-sulfate from heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) to affect numerous physiological and pathological processes. Our research aimed to investigate the effect of the SULF1-mediated VEGFR2/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway on tumorigenesis and development of cervical cancer (CC). METHODS The expression and prognostic values of SULF1 in patients with CC were analyzed through bioinformatics analysis, RT-PCR, immunohistochemistry, and western blot assays. The function and regulatory mechanism of SULF1 in proliferation, migration, and invasion of cervical cancer cells were examined through lentivirus transduction, CCK8, flow cytometry analysis, plate colony formation assay, scratch assay, transwell assay, western blot, VEGFR2 inhibitor (Ki8751), and mouse models. RESULTS SULF1 expression was significantly upregulated in CC tissues, which was significantly associated with poor prognosis of patients with CC. In vitro, the upregulation of SULF1 expression in cervical cancer HeLa cells promoted cell proliferation, colony formation, migration, and invasion while inhibiting apoptosis. Conversely, the downregulation of SULF1 expression had the opposite effect. In vivo, the upregulation of SULF1 expression resulted in a significant increase in both tumor growth and angiogenesis, while its downregulation had the opposite effect. Furthermore, western blot detection and cell function rescue assay confirmed that the upregulation of SULF1 in HeLa cells promoted the tumorigenic behaviors of cancer cells by activating the VEGFR2/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. CONCLUSION SULF1 plays an oncogenic role in the tumorigenesis and development of CC, indicating its potential as a novel molecular target for gene-targeted therapy in patients with CC.

Abstract
The exact role of Transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) in tumor progression and immunomodulation remains elusive. We comprehensively investigated the expression pattern, diagnostic value, prognostic impact, genetic and epigenetic alterations of TRPM2 in pan-cancer. Then, we explored underlying pathways associated with TRPM2 and immune-related signatures. Ovarian cancer (OV) specimens were enrolled to test the expression of TRPM2 by immunohistochemistry and RT-qPCR. OV cell A2780 transfected with shRNA targeting TRPM2 was used in subsequent experiments. TRPM2 was aberrantly expressed and associated with unfavorable prognosis across various cancers. It possesses significant diagnostic values with AUC > 0.90. TRPM2 participated in pathways mediating immunoregulation and tumorigenesis. The expression of TRPM2 was significantly correlated with tumor microenvironment scores, tumor-stemness index, macrophages infiltration, immune checkpoints, and immune-related genes. OV single-cell datasets also indicated that TRPM2 was predominantly distributed on macrophages and malignancies. The overexpressed TRPM2 in OV tissues was validated at both the mRNA and protein levels. TRPM2 expression was significantly correlated with type2 macrophage marker CD206. Knockdown of TRPM2 inhibited OV cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis. Overall, TRPM2 has relevance to an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment by modulating macrophage. It could serve as a powerful biomarker for tumor screening and prognosis, and a potential therapeutic target for tumor treatment, especially for OV.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the gland function of patients following endoscopy-assisted removal of impacted hilo-parenchymal stones in the Wharton's duct. The study cohort comprised 115 patients who had undergone successful endoscopy-assisted lithotomy for hilo-parenchymal stones (mean diameter 7.7 mm). Gland function was evaluated at a mean 12 months after surgery using ultrasonography, sialography, and/or sialometry. Postoperative ultrasonography of 51 affected glands revealed a regular gland size in 58.8%, normal parenchyma density in 51.0%, and ductal ectasia in 80.4%. Postoperative sialograms of 109 affected glands were scored as type I (approximately normal) in 13 cases, type II (saccular ectasia of the hilo-parenchymal duct with/without stenosis, and no contrast retention) in 64, type III (saccular ectasia of the hilo-parenchymal duct with/without stenosis, and mild contrast retention) in 23, and type IV (poor shape of the main duct with evident contrast retention) in nine cases. The existence of ductal ectasia corresponded well to larger stone cases (P = 0.002). In the postoperative sialometry of 35 patients with unilateral stones, differences between the two sides were insignificant (P > 0.05). For patients with hilo-parenchymal submandibular gland stones, endoscopy-assisted surgery and extended postoperative follow-up help preserve the gland with good function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence of Anisakis infection in marine fishes in Eastern Fujian Fishing Ground of Fujian Province, so as to provide insights into the development of the anisakiasis control strategy. METHODS Marine fish samples were randomly collected from Jiaocheng District, Fuding City and Xiapu County around Eastern Fujian Fishing Ground in Fujian Province from September to December, 2021. All fishes were dissected, and the abdominal contents were collected. Parasites were sampled under a stereomicroscope and the Anisakis species were identified through morphology. The prevalence and intensity of Anisakis infections were calculated. RESULTS A total of 177 marine fishes belonging to 24 species were dissected, and Anisakis was detected in 73 marine fishes (41.2%) belonging to 16 species (66.7%), with a mean infection intensity of 14.3 parasites per fish. High prevalence of Anisakis infection was found in Ilisha elongata (5/5), Miichthys miiuy (3/3), Plectorhynchus cinctus (2/2), Scomberomorus niphonius (12/13), Trichiurus lepturus (19/23), Pennahia argentata (6/11) and Ditrema temmincki (14/27), with mean infection intensities of 9.2, 2.7, 4.5, 10.9, 39.2, 4.5 parasites per fish and 2.1 parasites per fish. The Anisakis larvae were characterized as Anisakis and Hysterothylacium. CONCLUSIONS High prevalence of Anisakis infection is detected in marine fishes in Eastern Fujian Fishing Ground of Fujian Province. The health education pertaining to food health is required to be reinforced to prevent the development of human anisakiasis.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the survival and influential factors of an integrated approach of novel agents, autologous hematopoietic stem cell (auto-HSCT) , and maintenance therapy in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) patients from a single center over the past 15 years. Methods: In our center, 300 MM patients who received an integrated strategy of new agents, auto-HSCT, and maintenance therapy over 15 years were retrospectively and prospectively analyzed. Results: The complete remission rates (CR) and ≥very good partial remission rates (VGPR) following induction therapy, transplantation, and maintenance therapy were respectively 35.3% and 55.2% , 72.4% and 80.0% , 89.2% , and 93.4% . When compared to patients receiving double-drug induction, the ≥VGPR and ORR of patients receiving triple-drug induction were improved. No difference existed in CR, ≥VGPR, and ORR between the PAD (bortezomib + liposome doxorubicin+ dexamethasone) and RAD (lenalidomide + liposome doxorubicin + dexamethasone) regimens, but the benefits speed differed. The negative rate of flow minimal residual disease following induction, transplantation, and maintenance was 18.8% (54 cases) , 41.4% (109 cases) , and 58.7% (142 cases) , respectively. The median time to progress (TTP) was 78.7 months and the median overall survival (OS) was 109 months. The median TTP for RISS-Ⅰ-Ⅲ patients were 111.8 months, 77.4 months, and 30.6 months, and the median OS was 118.8 months, 91.4 months, and 48.5 months, respectively. At various points during treatment, the TTP and OS of patients obtaining CR and MRD negative were longer than those of patients who did not obtain CR and MRD negative. TTP was noticeably shorter in high-risk cytogenetic patients compared to standard-risk patients even when CR was acquired during induction. There was no difference in TTP between patients with high-risk cytogenetics and those with standard-risk cytogenetics if MRD negative was acquired during induction. According to a multivariate analysis, the R-ISS stage was a poor predictor of TTP and OS at various treatment intervals. Therapeutic effectiveness was a newly independent prognostic factor following treatment. Conclusion: A median survival of almost 10 years is possible for MM patients who receive an integrated strategy of induction regimens followed by auto-HSCT and maintenance therapy, which significantly improves prognosis. However, this approach did not significantly benefit high-risk cytogenetic MM patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common chronic liver disease. This study examined sex-specific associations between NAFLD and metabolic factors and investigated the trajectory of risk factors. METHODS We retrospectively investigated 16,140 individuals from Beijing Health Management Cohort. Univariate and multivariate time-dependent Cox regression analyses were performed to identify independent risk factors for new-onset NAFLD. The trajectory of risk factors was investigated using the latent growth curve model and growth mixture model. RESULTS Over a median follow-up of 3.15 years, 2,450 (15.18%) participants developed NAFLD. The risk factors for NAFLD in men were increased body mass index (BMI); waist circumference (WC); triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), haemoglobin (Hb), and serum uric acid (SUA) levels; and platelet (PLT) count and decreased serum creatinine-to-body weight (sCr/bw) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. In women, the risk factors were increased BMI, WC, and fasting plasma glucose (FPG), TG, LDL-C, SUA, white blood cell (WBC), and PLT and decreased sCr/bw and HDL-C levels. In addition, BMI, LDL-C, sCr/bw and PLT changing trajectories were associated with NAFLD in men; BMI, WC, TG, LDL-C, SUA and sCr/bw trends was associated with NAFLD risk in women. CONCLUSIONS Development of NAFLD is associated with BMI, LDL-C, sCr/bw and PLT changing trajectories in men; BMI, WC, TG, LDL-C, SUA and sCr/bw trends are associated an increased risk of NAFLD in women. Deterioration of metabolic risk factors status can be a predictor of NAFLD many years before its occurrence.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes most commonly presents in adulthood, contrary to the widely held view that it is a disease of childhood. Furthermore, a substantial proportion of cases of adult-onset type 1 diabetes does not require insulin therapy at clinical onset. Recent studies have emphasised the evidence that adult-onset type 1 diabetes is prevalent but often misclassified initially as type 2 diabetes (1, 2). In this review, we discuss that recent literature, highlighting the similarities and differences between adult-onset and childhood-onset type 1 diabetes, exploring recent debates surrounding its epidemiology and genetics, as well as expanding on important issues of diagnostic criteria for individuals presenting with adult-onset diabetes and the subsequent management once identified as having an autoimmune basis. In addition, this review looks at the psychosocial challenges faced by T1D patients and their possible management.

Abstract
Background Naples prognostic score (NPS), a novel scoring system based on nutritional and inflammatory status, is associated with prognosis in several cancers. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of preoperative NPS in patients undergoing nephrectomy. Patients and Methods This study retrospectively analyzed patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) who underwent radical or partial nephrectomy between 2010 and 2013. The clinicopathological characteristics of patients stratified by preoperative NPS were compared. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan–Meier method and log-rank test. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to identify independent prognostic factors. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to evaluate prediction efficiency. Results A total of 638 patients with operable RCC were included. The high-NPS group (NPS group 2) was significantly associated with older age (P < 0.001), larger tumor size (P < 0.001), worse pathological T stage (P < 0.001), positive lymph node pathology (P = 0.002), higher tumor grade (P < 0.001), and greater tumor necrosis (P < 0.001). Multivariable analysis demonstrated that the high-NPS subgroup had significantly worse overall survival (OS) [hazard ratio (HR): 2.25, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.45–3.50, P < 0.001] and progression-free survival (PFS) (HR: 2.26, 95% CI: 1.48–3.44, P < 0.001). Among several preoperative scoring systems, NPS had the strongest discriminatory power for predicting OS and PFS. Conclusion Preoperative NPS can serve as a simple novel risk stratification tool to optimize the prognosis of patients with operable RCC. Further prospective and large-scale studies are needed to validate our findings.

Abstract
To analyze the distribution of human papillomavirus (HPV) genotype, cytology, and the clinical characteristics of vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VaIN). All patients with histological-proven VaIN at West China Second University Hospital, between January 1, 2014, and October 1, 2020, were retrospectively identified. The demographics, medical history, HPV genotype, viral load, and cytology results were retrieved. Standard statistical analyses were conducted. Of 3229 patients included, 42.3% were diagnosed with VaIN 1, 30.3% with VaIN 2% and 27.4% with VaIN 3. Patients with VaIN 3 were the oldest (p < 0.001). The leading HPV genotypes were HPV 16, 52, 58, 53, 56 and 81. The positive rate of HPV 16 was positively correlated with the grade of VaIN and infected most VaIN 3 patients (76.0%). The sensitivities of cytology for VaIN only, concomitant VaIN, and VaIN after hysterectomy were 75.6%, 78.8%, and 82.9%, respectively (p = 0.013), and the sensitivities of HPV were 91.1%, 93.5%, and 91.7%, respectively (p = 0.205). Cotesting improved the sensitivities, up to 96.9%, 97.1%, and 98.1%, respectively. VaIN can occur alone or be concomitant with cervical or vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia. Most of those with VaIN 2/3 are infected with HPV 16. The sensitivity of cytology and HPV testing is non-inferior to that of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2+. Therefore, these testings might be helpful in the early detection of VaIN.

Abstract
Abstract Objective To study the correlation between the abdominal wall subcutaneous fat thickness and heart weight, so as to provide reference for prediction methods of normal range of heart weight that is suitable for autopsy in China. Methods The forensic pathology autopsy cases accepted by Center for Medicolegal Expertise of Sun Yat-sen University from 1998 to 2017 were collected. Then the exclusion criteria were determined, and according to them the total case group was selected, and the 6 disease groups and the normal group were further selected from the total case group. The rank sum test was used to compare the heart weight of the normal group and the disease groups to determine the influence of diseases on heart weight. Then the Spearman rank correlation analysis of abdominal wall subcutaneous fat thickness and heart weight in different genders and different ages in the total case group and the normal group was conducted to get the correlation coefficient (rs). Results In the total case group, correlation between abdominal wall subcutaneous fat thickness and heart weight was shown in males of all ages (P<0.05); while in females, the correlation had no statistical significance (P>0.05) in 15-<20 age and 50-<60 age, but was statistically significant (P<0.05) in other age groups. For the males in the normal group, rs was respectively 0.411, 0.541 and 0.683 in the 15-<40 age, the 40-<60 age, and the ≥60 age. For the females, rs was respectively 0.249 and 0.317 in the 15-<40 age and the 40-<60 age. The correlation in the ≥60 age had no statistical significance(P>0.05). Conclusion In the general population and the normal population, abdominal wall subcutaneous fat thickness is correlated with the heart weight of males. It is of significance to include the abdominal wall subcutaneous fat thickness in the prediction of normal range of heart weight for males in China.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE to profile patients with vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VAIN), to evaluate natural history and to identify risk factors for persistence, progression and recurrence. METHODS At West China Second University Hospital, all patients with histologically confirmed VAIN over a five-year period with minimum follow-up of 6 months were retrospectively identified. Demographics, medical history and clinical information related to the diagnosis and treatment were extracted. Clinical outcomes included normalization, persistence, progression and recurrence. We evaluated risk factors by univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS A total of 1478 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria with a median follow-up of 14 months (range, 6-60 months). In 86.6% of patients, VAIN went into normalization, 6.4% persisted, 3.5% progressed and 3.5% recurred. Besides, 24 (7.1%) VAIN 3 patients and 4 (0.8%) progressed to cancer, accounting for 85.7% and 14.3% of cancer cases, respectively. VAIN 3 patients treated with excision yielded superior outcomes. Risk factors for persistence were HPV 16, 56, 59 and 43 infections, for progression were prior hysterectomy for cervical lesions and HPV 56 infection, for recurrence were HPV 61 infection. CONCLUSION Although VAIN will regress in most patients, there are still risks of persistence, recurrence and progression, even malignancy. Therefore, a long-term follow-up is recommended. Patients with VAIN 3 are at higher risk of progressing to cancer and excision is preferred. HPV 16, 56, 59 and 43 infections might associate with an increased risk of persistence and patients with prior hysterectomy for cervical lesions tend to progress.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the therapeutic effect of transperitoneal transmesenteric approach versus paracolic sulci approach laparoscopic adrenal tumorectomy for treatment of left-sided primary hyperaldosteronism. Methods: From January 2017 to July 2019, the clinical data of 70 patients with left-sided primary hyperaldosteronism (PHA) who underwent surgery in the First Hospital of Lanzhou University and five other hospitals in Gansu Province were retrospectively analyzed. There are 43 male and 27 female patients. Among them,28 patients were performed transperitoneal transmesenteric approach laparoscopic adrenal tumorectomy and 42 patients were performed transperitoneal paracolic sulci approach laparoscopic adrenal tumorectomy. The general information and perioperative data of the two groups were compared. Results: All 70 cases of surgery were successfully completed. As compared with the paracolic sulci approach group, the operation time was significantly shorter in the transmesenteric approach group[(26.7±8.8)vs (38.9±7.1)min,P<0.001)], and the estimated blood loss was less in the transmesenteric approach group[45(30,50) vs 50(40,60)ml,P=0.042]. There was no statistically significant difference in the postoperative hospitalization days between the two groups[(4.4±1.0)vs(4.5±1.0)d, P=0.669)]. The electrolytes and aldosterone to renin ratio returned to a healthy level in the postoperative one month, and the blood pressure also returned to a healthy level in 53 (75.7%) patients. Conclusion: Transperitoneal transmesenteric approach laparoscopic adrenal tumorectomy is safe and feasible, with a short operation time and relatively less estimated blood loss.

Abstract
Background & Purpose: Anxiety and depression are common among stroke survivors, and their effect on long-term outcome remains unknown in those under 65 years of age. We investigated the association between early anxiety/depression after stroke and 12-month disability, and whether this is modified by sex.Methods: The Psychosocial Outcomes In StrokE (POISE) study was a prospective observational cohort study that recruited 441 younger (< 65 years) stroke survivors ≤28 days of acute stroke. Anxiety and depression were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and disability using the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Scale version II (WHODAS-II). Associations between baseline anxiety/depression, and disability at 12-months was tested using analysis of covariance. Subgroup analysis was conducted using interaction term.Results: 92 (25%) had anxiety and 53 (14%) depression at baseline. Multivariable models showed significant association between baseline anxiety and 12-month disability (WHODAS-II score 15.24 vs. 11.49, p < .05). Those with anxiety had more impairment in 'cognition' (WHODAS-II score 18.26 vs. 8.71, p < .001), 'getting along' (WHODAS-II score 11.87 vs. 7.42, p < .05) and 'participation' (WHODAS-II score 22.37 vs. 15.92, p < .005) WHODAS-II. No significant relationship was found between baseline depression and long-term disability. There was no differential effect of anxiety by sex found in this study.Conclusions: Post-stroke anxiety has an adverse effect on disability at one year among young stroke survivors.

Abstract
Abstract In the past, coronavirus caused two serious human-to-human pandemics in the world, including severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). In late 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused another major global public health event. Due to the strong infectivity of novel coronavirus, it is difficult to carry out the autopsy of related death cases widely. This paper reviews the previous status of the pathogen detection related to the autopsy of coronavirus infection diseases, and introduces the ongoing detection methods of novel coronavirus in clinical practice, in order to provide reference for the pathogen detection and study related to autopsy of COVID-19.

Abstract
We report a unique multiyear L-band microwave radiometry dataset collected at the Maqu site on the eastern Tibetan Plateau and demonstrate its utilities in advancing our understandings of microwave observations of land surface processes. The presented dataset contains measurements of L-band brightness temperature by an ELBARA-III microwave radiometer in horizontal and vertical polarization, profile soil moisture and soil temperature, turbulent heat fluxes, and meteorological data from the beginning of 2016 till August 2019, while the experiment is still continuing. Auxiliary vegetation and soil texture information collected in dedicated campaigns are also reported. This dataset can be used to validate the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) and Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite based observations and retrievals, verify radiative transfer model assumptions and validate land surface model and reanalysis outputs, retrieve soil properties, as well as to quantify land-atmosphere exchanges of energy, water and carbon and help to reduce discrepancies and uncertainties in current Earth System Models (ESM) parameterizations. Measurement cases in winter, pre-monsoon, monsoon and post-monsoon periods are presented.

Abstract
Adjuvant chemotherapy may cause alterations in serum lipids in postoperative breast cancer (BC) patients, but the specific alterations caused by different chemotherapy regimens remain unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the status of serum lipids pre- and post-chemotherapy and to compare the side effects of different chemotherapy regimens on serum lipid.We retrospectively analysed the lipid profiles of 1934 consecutive postoperative BC patients who received one of the following chemotherapy regimens:The levels of triglycerides (TG), total cholesterols (TC), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) were significantly elevated in patients who received chemotherapy regimens above (P < .001). With respect to different chemotherapy regimens, FEC had less side effects on lipid profiles (TG (P = .006), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) (P < .001), and LDL-C (P < .001)) than TC regimen and AC-T and EC-T regimen. Also, the incidence of newly diagnosed dyslipidemia after chemotherapy was lower in FEC group than TC group and AC-T and EC-T group (P < .001). Additionally, the magnitude of the alterations in lipid profiles (TG, TC, HDL-C, and LDL-C) was greater in premenopausal patients than that of the postmenopausal patients (P = .004; P < .001; P = .002; P = .003, respectively). Moreover, after adjusting for multiple baseline covariates, anthracycline-plus-taxane-based regimens (AC-T and EC-T) were still statistically associated with a high level of TG (P = .004) and a low level of HDL-C (P = .033) after chemotherapy compared with FEC regimen. Also, body mass index (BMI) > 24 was associated with abnormal lipid profiles (TG, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C) post-chemotherapy compared with BMI ≤ 24 (P < .001; P = .036; P = .012; P = .048, respectively).BC patients receiving chemotherapy may have elevated lipid profiles, and anthracycline-based regimen had less side effects on lipid profiles compared with regimens containing taxane. Therefore, it is necessary to take lipid metabolism into consideration when making chemotherapy decisions and dyslipidemia prevention and corresponding interventions are indispensable during the whole chemotherapy period.

Abstract
Aims The emergence of carbapenem‐resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) strains has led to increased mortality and morbidity rates. Tigecycline, a new class of broad‐spectrum glycyl‐tetracycline antibiotics, has been used to target multi‐ and pan‐drug‐resistant bacterial infections. This study aimed to assess the molecular characteristics of CRKP in a tertiary hospital, and its susceptibility to tigecycline, to create a reference for hospital infection control and clinical drug use. Methods and Results We retrieved patient clinical information and CRKP characterization from medical records and detected the MIC of tigecycline using the micro‐broth dilution method. Multi‐locus sequence typing was performed, and antibiotic resistance genes associated with CRKP were detected by qPCR. A total of 166 CRKP strains were detected in the sputum, urine and blood among intensive care unit patients (average age, 69·6 years). The most infrequently observed resistance genes were amikacin resistance genes, followed by tobramycin resistance genes. KPC‐2, CTX‐M9 and CTX‐M1 were the most frequently detected resistance genes. Conclusions No strain was resistant to tigecycline (MIC ≥ 8 µg ml−1). Twenty‐four sequence types were identified, with ST11 being the most common type. Significance and Impact of the Study Clinicians and infection control experts should be aware of CRKP prevalence to facilitate clinical treatment and improve nosocomial infection control.

Abstract
Background:CD163, a hemoglobin scavenger receptor, has been identified as a marker of M2 macrophages, it can promote the release of IL-10 and carbon oxide. Researches on inflammatory diseases and tumors have suggested that CD163 plays anti-inflammatory effect and promotes tumor growth and metastasis. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by chronic synovitis with inflammatory cells infiltration including considerable macrophages. However, little is known about the role of CD163+ macrophages in RA synovium.Objectives:To investigate the expression and clinical significance of synovial CD163+ macrophages in RA.Methods:Seventy-five RA patients were recruited and clinical data including disease activity, HAQ and Sharp/van der Heijde-modified Sharp score of bilateral hands and wrists were collected. Synovial tissues were obtained by needle biopsies or arthroscopy of knee joints. Eighteen osteoarthritis (OA) and seventeen orthopedic arthropathies (orth.A) patients were included as controls. All synovium were stained with H&E and immunohistochemically for CD163, CD3, CD20, CD38, CD68, and CD15. Histologic changes of synovitis in H&E stained sections were graded with Krenn’s synovitis score.Results:Positive CD163 expression were found in both lining synoviocytes and sublining inflammatory cells. Both densities of lining and sublining CD163+ macrophages in RA synovium were significantly higher than that in OA or Orth.A synovium (140.47±66.93 vs. 17.85±7.70 vs. 19.76±5.26 and 417.92±249.62 vs. 27.58±14.19 vs. 29.87±9.33, allP<0.001, Figure 1).According to Krenn’s synovitis score, there were 68% RA patients showing high synovitis (score>4). Both lining and sublining synovial CD163+ macrophages were significantly higher than those showing low synovitis (lining: 158.40±62.91 vs. 122.06±66.74, sublining: 462.96±62.91 vs. 371.65±271.54, bothP<0.05). Meanwhile, the densities of lining and sublining CD163+ macrophages were both positively correlated with Krenn’s synovitis score (r=0.238 and 0.343, bothP<0.05).For clinical relationship in RA, the density of sublining CD163+ macrophages was positively correlated with total Sharp score (mTSS) (r=0.399,P<0.001), joint space narrowing subscore (r=0.248,P=0.032) and joint erosion subscore (r=0.457,P<0.001). While the density of lining CD163+ macrophages was positively correlated with mTSS (r=0.319,P=0.005) and joint erosion subscore (r=0.358,P=0.002). Meanwhile, the densities of sublining and lining CD68+ macrophages were also positively correlated with mTSS (r=0.253 and 0.242, bothP<0.05), of which the correlation was weaker than that of CD163+ macrophages (Figure 2). There were no significant correlation between the density of CD163+ macrophages and disease activity or HAQ (allP>0.05).Conclusion:Synovial CD163+ macrophages are associated with radiographic joint destruction, which imply that CD163+ macrophages may play role in the pathogenisis of joint destruction in RA.Figure 1.Representative immunohistochemical findings of synovial CD163 expression.

Abstract
Continuous blood pressure is measured from various extracranial body sites, with difference in amplitude and phase with intracranial blood pressure. Consequent influences on the accuracy of Windkessel model need further investigation. Between blood pressure and intracranial flow rate, a model with non-linear flow resistance (R-DT) was proposed and compared with the 3-element Windkessel (RCR) model. From the measured blood flow velocity in middle cerebral artery, the blood pressure was estimated by R-DT and RCR models respectively. The parameters in the models were optimized by genetic algorithm. The accuracies of R-DT and RCR models were compared based on their estimation errors to the measured blood pressure. The capacitance element in RCR model indicated limited ability to take the time shift into account. Compared with RCR model, R-DT model had less error (averaged relative error: 5.19% and 2.49% for RCR and RDT models). The non-linear flow resistance was applicable in simulating cerebral arteries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) is associated with an increased risk of ischaemic stroke (IS). However, the causality of this association is uncertain. The aim is to investigate whether genetically raised plasma CRP concentration levels are associated with IS on the basis of the Mendelian randomization method. METHODS Based on the National Center for Biotechnology Information single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) database, the Chinese online genetic database as well as previously published studies, four CRP-associated SNP alleles (rs1130864, rs1205, rs876537 and rs3093059) with minor allele frequency ≥0.15 were selected and the concentration levels of CRP were measured in 378 first-ever IS patients and 613 healthy controls. RESULTS Three SNPs were chosen and used as instrumental variables. The adjusted odds ratios (ORs) [95% confidence interval (95% CI)] of IS per addition of the modelled allele were 1.07 (0.79-1.45) for rs876537, 0.99 (0.73-1.35) for rs1205 and 1.08 (0.71-1.65) for rs3093059. The OR (95% CI) of IS for plasma CRP ≥2.0 mg/l was 2.19 (1.06-4.53) compared with <2.0 mg/l. The adjusted OR (95% CI) of IS per genetically predicted 10% higher CRP concentration, based on the three SNPs as the instruments, was 1.02 (0.94-1.11). Furthermore, similar results were obtained with adjusted ORs (95% CI) of 1.00 (0.88-1.13) and 1.04 (0.93-1.16), respectively, for large-artery atherosclerosis and small-artery occlusion per genetically predicted 10% higher CRP concentration. CONCLUSIONS This Mendelian randomization study provides no clear support that elevated CRP concentration is causally associated with the risk of IS.

Abstract
目的 比较大剂量美法仑(HDM)和环磷酰胺、依托泊苷联合白消安(CVB)预处理方案应用于新诊断多发性骨髓瘤(NDMM)患者自体造血干细胞移植(ASCT)的安全性、近期及远期疗效。 方法 回顾性分析2011年1月至2017年8月期间接受PAD(硼替佐米+脂质体阿霉素+地塞米松)方案诱导治疗序贯ASCT的NDMM患者共123例,按接受预处理方案分为CVB组(82例)和HDM组(41例)。 结果 ①非血液学不良反应方面两者无显著区别。②CVB组中性粒细胞植入和血小板植入较HDM组快,中性粒细胞植入时间为第10(9~35)天对第11(9~12)天(z=−3.433,P=0.001);血小板植入时间为11(7~55)d对HDM组13(10~35)d(z=−3.506,P<0.001);但CVB组也更早进入粒细胞缺乏(粒缺)及显著血小板减少,最终粒缺及显著血小板减少持续时间两组间尚未显示出差别;但CVB组的发热持续时间以及相应抗生素使用时间显著延长。③CVB组经过移植后获得传统疗效进步的患者比例显著低于HDM组(9/46对14/28,P=0.021);而且移植后3个月CVB组的微小残留病(MRD)阴性率有低于HDM组的趋势(31.7%对48.8%,P=0.065)。④无论单因素还是多因素分析均显示两种预处理方案并不影响接受PAD诱导序贯ASCT及维持治疗的NDMM患者的至进展时间(TTP)(P= 0.619)及总生存(OS)时间(P=0.295)。 结论 HDM预处理方案血液学不良反应、减低MM肿瘤负荷以及使用方便性方面较CVB方案具有优势,但采用两种预处理方案的ASCT治疗MM的TTP和OS未见明显差异。

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bladder cancer is one of the severest human malignancies which are hardly detected at an early stage. Raman spectroscopy is reported to maintain a high diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity and specificity in some tumors. METHODS We carried out a complete systematic review based on articles from PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, Web of Science, Ovid, Web of Knowledge, Cochrane Library and CNKI. We identified 2341 spectra with strict criteria in 9 individual studies between 2004 and 2018 in accordance to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. We summarized the test performance using random effects models. RESULTS General pooled diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of RS to kidney cancer were 94% (95% CI 0.93-0.95) and 92% (95% CI 0.90-0.93). The pooled positive LR was 10.00 (95%CI 5.66-17.65) while the negative LR was 0.09 (95%CI 0.06-0.14). The pooled DOR was 139.53 (95% CI 54.60-356.58). The AUC of SROC was 0.9717. CONCLUSION Through this meta-analysis, we found a promisingly high sensitivity and specificity of RS in the diagnosis of suspected bladder masses and tumors. Other parameters like positive, negative LR, DOR, and AUC of the SROC curve all helped to illustrate the high efficacy of RS in bladder cancer diagnosis.
